I didn't quite finish where I should have!
"The FCW is what makes the pen move, and it will keep speeding up until the drag increases enough to balance it".

Good point about the nose attitude! Same A/A at same glide ratio = same attitude. I still maintain ID is reduced though - the faster airflow is straighter over the wings => less spanwise flow etc.etc.
Far out, I thought I knew this stuff inside out.
I thought gliders carried ballast so they could actually get back down without exceeding Va?
